(Tamers!)

How long had it been since they were trapped here? Let's see... Joe, Veemon, Tentomon, and himself(Davis) were sucked into the pillar- data stream and brought into a desert. They tried going back through one only to find themselves in a weird ghost town. Just without any ghost. Unless you count there guide, but she looks pretty alive still. They met Alice there in the middle of the night... that was their first night there and they couldn't really sleep very much back then. Their second night was easier. This was there third day? It must be right?

You know, aside from being completely lost, the holes they kept- well mostly just him- almost falling into, and the data streams, this place didn't seem too bad. Peaceful almost. Still, it bothered him to no end that so far they haven't met anyone else here asides from that girl. And she was still being vague about everything. Well the scenery here was pretty cool. It was like they were high in the sky, and the ground was made up of clouds. Hey, maybe they were.

"Hey, how about stopping for some lunch?" Davis asked tired of walking.

"Lunch?" Alice asked.

"We haven't eaten anything since we've been here... I can't say I'm really hungry though." Joe said.

"A break couldn't hurt though right?" Veemon suggested.

"It would be nice to rest my wings for a bit." Tentomon added.

"It should be fine here. We aren't actually going anywhere anyway, so we can stay around for a while if you'd like." Alice said.

"What? No way! We've got to get back home, and we can't do that just sitting here!" Davis nearly shouted.

"I thought you wanted to stop..." Alice wondered.

"Just for a moment to catch my breath, I'm ready to go now." Davis countered.

Joe sighed and Tentomon and Veemon exchanged disappointed looks. Looks like it was back to walking for them.

"What are you all bummed out for? We'll be back home before you know it guys!" Davis cheered.

"We've been walking for days... something tells me it won't be so easy Davis. We could be here for a long time." Joe stated unamused. "When me and the other earlier digidestined first came to the digital world, we were trapped there for months before we found our way home."

"How'd you all make it back?" Veemon asked.

"There was a door in Myotismon's castle, it was actually a gateway portal." Izzy told the story. "Izzy figured out how to open it to the right world. "

"Right world? What does that mean?" Davis asked.

"Well Genai said that if we made a mistake in using the keys, it could open a portal to some other world." Joe answered.

"Do you think you guys coulda ended up coming here?" Veemon asked.

"It's possible... we don't know though." Joe said. "We wouldn't be able to go through it to get back though anyway. Myotismon's castle fell apart just as we all jumped through. So the door is gone now."

"That stinks. At least we've got our own way to go to the digital world and back." Davis smiled, thinking of the first time he'd used the digiport in the school's computer lab.

"Hey guys?" Tentomon buzzed worried. "Where did Alice go off to?"

Looking around them yielded no answers. They began to search.

"Alice! Hey! Where'd you go?" Davis called out.

"Hey Davis," Joe said, seeing something in the distance.

"What? Did you find her?"

"No look!" Joe said pointing to a large group.

"Is that Matt?" Veemon asked, spotting a blonde haired boy.

"Hey Matt! Gabumon! Guys we're over here!" Davis shouted, before being engulfed by a bright pink light.

The group of four landed roughly onto the ground.

"Great! Just great! As soon as we find one of our friends we're sucked into one of those horrid data streams again!" Tentomon ranted in a panicked tone.

"Wait look guys!" Joe said.

"What now?" Davis asked crossly.

"We're home!" Veemon cheered, seeing a very much familiar digital world around them.

(Adventure!)

"So what's the plan now?" Gatomon asked.

"Well, we need communications fixed first off, so I'll be working on bypassing the error while Ken is monitoring for more messages from our system hijackers." Izzy explained. "Next, we need to find TK and Patamon. Yolei, I'd like you and Hawkmon to search for him here, while Kari I'd like you and Gatomon to search back in our world. Keep a look out for the girl you saw before, she could help us."

"Alright, I will." Kari nodded.

"Sounds good to me." Yolei agreed.

"Good, Cody I'd like for you to ask Impmon questions about his world and take notes. Any little bit of information is crucial here. Mimi, I think you should do the same with Ai and Makoto. We need to know where they came from if we want to send them home. Armidillomon, you and Palmon are on lookout duty. Watch out for data streams as well as any aggressive digimon." Izzy finished once everyone knew there roles.

"So until we can get those kids back home, where are they going to stay?" Kari asked.

"I already offered to have them stay with me. I don't mind the hotels couch too much, it's a lot more comfy then camping." Mimi suggested.

"They also already trust Mimi so it's probably best that they stay with her for the time being." Hawkmon added.

"How long will these questions take?" Impmon asked.

"They shouldn't take too long, but your world sounds a lot different from ours." Cody said.

"We should get going Kari." Gatomon said.

"Oh, right. Well I'll see you all later then." Kari said before heading off.

"What's Wormmon going to do?" Palmon asked.

"He's helping Ken I think.. You think we should ask him if he wants to keep watch with us?" Armidillomon asked.

"Only if he's not busy." Palmon concluded.

"We have to answer questions? Like on a test?" Makoto asked.

"What if we get a wrong answer? Would you get mad?" Ai added.

"It's not like that... you're just going to be telling me about your home, where you two grew up, what's your family like. That sort of thing." Mimi sated.

(Tamers!)

"When is everyone coming back?" Shaochung asked her brother.

"They only just left today." Jianliang replied.

"I'm bored." The little girl said.

"Well then go play or something." Her brother stated coldly.

"What're you doing?" She asked.

"I'm working on something to help the others. Now go away."

"You're never nice to me anymore!" Shaochung exclaimed, leaving the room in a fit.

"Hey, I'll play with you." Terriermon said. "Just so long as Lopmon has to be the baby this time."

"It would be an honour to play princess with you today." Lopmon agreed.

(?)

An earthquake shook the ground under Tai and Agumon. They tried the stay on their feet but to no avail. Instead, yet another crack in the deserts plain opened and the two feel in. Pink slime lay below and they were going to fall in.

Instead a strange white creature appeared and suddenly the two were someplace else.

"Is this? Are we back home?" Tai asked. He was in a park. It looked similar to the ones back home, but still different. A different town maybe?

"But we didn't find any of our friends. What do we do now Tai?" Agumon asked.
